I tried playing with some color and now he seems to be illuminated by some iridescent light.

What's going on here? I have no idea. I just think I could draw this little guy forever.

@desceros I've been reading your masterpieces for a while, they accompany me in my madness, so in return I'll throw you something too.

[talp8]

I imagine that the rare times Donnie ever hugged his brother, he poured out such a level of emotion that made each one unforgettable.

Plus, yes, I think Leo loves hugs from his twin more than he could ever admit.

So... here we are. Hugs!

Hi, just wanted to throw in some color. Now I can return to my dark lair.

[talp8]

The new chapter of Mutant ninja midlife crisis was a stab straight in the stomach, frontal, so they could watch you cry.

There are a thousand scenes that have made their way into my head, but this one really pissed me off. Leon's desperate plea to Big Mama, so heartbreaking and nullifying. A gesture that completely erases him, that slams him to the ground and humiliates him. For nothing!

@mutantninjamidlifecrisis you broke me again, keep going!

[talp8]

I really like drawing the arms of these turtles!

Good night.

It's a bad moment for him.

It's my first time trying animation...as you can see. It's extremely raw, I realize, and I'm so ashamed of it. But also why not? I will have plenty of time to eliminate it when my mind will be clearer after sleeping.

An idea inspired by reading the chapters of Mutant ninja midlife crisis by @mutantninjamidlifecrisis

Song: Farewell Wanderlust - The Amazing Devil

[talp8]

Here's a little Rock version of Neon Leon.

Well, I have too many things to say. Starting from the most obvious, I'm eternally undecided, and as a consequence I haven't been able to choose among all the versions I've made and therefore I've uploaded (almost) all of them. I hope they are to your liking.

The beckstory is quite trivial: I heard the song below and it grabbed me so much that the hand started sketching on its own, with the only goal of making Leo as cool as possible.

The result is this... I hope I managed to convey the idea of his nature a bit cheeky and impertinent, while Leo sticking his tongue out and winks.

As always hope you enjoy.

There's not much to say, these big boys always warm my heart.

After watching the film for the umpteenth time I thought and thought about that beautiful hug at the end.... and here it is, I tried to recreate that spark of furious family love.

I thought that I have to be able to make them THEM, which also means trying to bring their inner selves out of their shells. So:

Donnie hugs Leo's shell from behind (to make the feeling become more intimate), in a serene smile so that the love for his twin can pour over him without being seen.

Mikey, on the contrary, lets himself go into desperate tears (Mikey-style), throwing himself into one of his hugs. Strictly frontal, full and warm.

Between Raph and Leo instead there is a different chemistry, both look at each other with sparkling eyes, Raph looks at his little brother who finally manages to squeeze again, while Leo just smiles at him like to say "I'm here big brother".

I'm done.

[talp8]

I'm done done!

And if I can say I'm also proud of this big boy, it really filled my heart to draw him.

I hope you enjoy it too.

I consider the line art ready so here it go: Future Leo in all his.... desperate fighting rage........ poor thing.

Inspired by the eleventh chapter of Mutant Ninja Midlife Crisis .

I state though that I also intend to color it, so it's not really "finished finished". Enjoy :)

[talp8]

At the end I colored it , and I think I'm done. This exhausted Donnie is ready to have his brain fried by the krangs.

Donnie. Ispired by Mutant Ninja Midlife Crisis chapter eight and @somerandomdudelmao sketch animatic.
